PEEFACE. 


vr  iTN  presenting  to  the  public  a  new  work  on  Architecture,  we  have  endeavored  to  meet  a  demand  that 

--  ""^1^  has  been  made  on  us,  for  some  time  past,  for  practical  designs  of  low  and  medium  priced  houses 
suited   to  the  masses  of  our  country. 

We  have  endeavored,  by  careful  study  of  proportion  and  distribution  of  parts,  to  combine  good  de- 
\^  sign  with  practical,  convenient  plans  and  sound  construction  ;  in  fact  onr  aiin  has  been,  to  get  the  best  effect  in 
design  in  the  simplest,  most  common  sense,  and  least  expensive  manner,  as  it  is  not  expense  and  ornate 
decorations,  which  so  many  ignorantly  believe  to  be  the  highest  attainment  of  architecture,  but  design,  which 
produces  true  beauty  and  graceful  appearance.  The  same  materials  and  expense  thrown  away  on  an  ugly, 
ill-proportioned  building,  if  guided  by  good  design,  would  produce  an  elegant  building,  and  this  is  why  the 
architect  is  brought  into  requisition,  to  treat  the  materials  placed  in  his  hands  so  as  to  give  an  expression 
of  beauty  to  the  simplest  form. 

It  is  an  erroneous  idea,  that  it  is  necessai'y  to  enclose  convenience  and  comfort  in  the  internal  ar- 
rangements with  ugliness,  or  that  it  is  impossible  to  obtain  a  pleasing  and  effective  design  with  a  good  plan 
and  a  modern  construction.  We  have  seen  buildings  which,  externally,  were  perfect,  but  their  plans  of 
interior  arrangement  were  absolute  failures,  being  without  a  closet  or  pantry  and  devoid  of  the  comfort  and 
conveniences  which  one  would  expect  to  find.  The  first  and  main  object  of  consideration  should  be  the 
plan,  the  design  being  of  a  pliant  nature  and  easily  adapted  to  the  ever-varying  forms  of  comfortable  and 
convenient  plans. 

One  of  the  objects  of  this  work  is  to  show,  that  in  the  erection  of  buildings  the  last  named  principles 
may  be  combined;  also,  we  hope  that  it  may  prove  suggestive  to  those  intending  to  build  and  to  mechanics 
engaged  in  the  erection  of  buildings.  We  are  inclined  to  think  that,  in  many  instances,  the  ideas 
contained  will  be  something  more  than  suggestive,  and  they  will  no  doubt  be  found  useful  in  assisting 
those  who  propose  the  erection  of  buildings,  to  decide  on  the  character  of  the  building  they  wish  to 
erect. 

It  has  not  been  stated  on  the  Plates  where  and  for  whom  the  buildings  have  been  erected,  yet  the 
greater  portion  of  the  designs  have  been  executed,  or  are  in  progress  of  execution  in  different  parts  of  the 
country.  In  this  we  hope  to  have  shown  what  can  be  done  in  obtaining  good  and  convenient  plans,  with 
tasty  and  effective  exterjors,  at  very  low  prices  ;  the  present  state  of  the  country  has  made  this  a  necessity, 
and  has  been  one  of  the  chief  considerations  in  preparing  these  designs. 

The  prices  given  will  only  do  for  the  same  specification  the  designs  were  executed  by,  and  the  same 
locality,  and  will  vary  according  to  location  and  style  of   material  and  finish  used  in  construction.

PLATE  1 

Represents  the  title-page  of  this  work,  which  it  has  been  deemed  best  to  make  a  useful  plate,  by  showing 
the  perspective  views  of  Designs  i,  2,  3,  and  23,  these  designs  being  without  views  on  the  plates  where 
they  are  illustrated. 

The  large  perspective  view  is  of  a  neat  cottage,  now  in  course  of  erection  at  Seaside  Park,  one  of 
the  most  charming  places  in  New  England.  The  first  story  is  built  of  fine  Trenton  pressed  brick, 
trimmed  with  buff  and  chocolate-colored  brick  and  Longmeadow  brown  stone,  the  second  story  being  of 
timber  construction  ;  roofs  covered  with  black  slate,  ridges  of  terra  cotta  ;  upper  part  of  all  windows  filled 
with  stained  glass ;  windows  fitted  with  Wilson  &  James's  rolling  Venetian  blinds.  The  first  floor  is  de- 
signed to  be  finished  in  ash,  with  paneled  ceilings  and  hard-wood  floor  ;  second  floor  in  pine,  finished  in 
natural  color.     All  rooms  have  open  fire-places,  built  of  buff  brick  and  furnished  with  hard-wood  mantels. 

First  floor  contains  main  hall,  ten  feet  wide,  with  large  open  fire-place  in  same,  and  is  connected  with 
parlor  by  sliding  doors,  so  that  on  special  occasions  they  can  be  thrown  into  one.  The  dining-room 
and  library  are  connected  in  like  manner.  A  toilet- room  is  placed  in  rear  of  main  hall,  which  is  con- 
venient to  the  stairs  and  back  hall.  The  kitchen  is  in  rear  wing,  and  communicates  with  dining-room 
through  waiter's  pantry.  Store  pantry  and  ice-closet  are  on  the  north  side,  the  ice  being  put  into  ice-tank 
from  outside,  through  a  door  provided  for  that  purpose.  Back  hall  contains  back  stairs,  also  communi- 
cates  with   cellar,    kitchen,   and   main    hall. 

Second  floor — Five  chambers,  three  dressing  rooms,  bath-room,  cedar  and  linen  closets.  A  fine 
room  on  third  floor  is  provided  for  servant  and  there  is  also  a  large  attic  for  storage. 

The  room  in  Tower  is  10  x  12  feet  in  size,  with  large  open  fire-place  ;  is  designed  for  use,  and 
commands  an  excellent  view  of  Long  Island  Sound  and  the  surrounding  country. 

Laundry  and  drying-room  are  placed  in  basement  under  kitchen. 

This  cottage  is  intended  for  a  first-class  residence,  is  furnished  with  all  modern  improvements  and 
conveniences,  and  heated  by     indirect  heat.

sizes  of  timber  and  other  material,  in  fact  everything  not  shown  on  plans. 

Where  the  buildings  are  inexpensive  and  require  no  slate  roofing,  plumbing 
or  heating,  pages  can  be  closed  up  or  cut  out,  and  by  drawing  the  pen  through 
a  single  word  or  by  adding  a  word  in  writing,  a  desired  change  can  be  made. 

Builders  can  read  what  they  are  required  to  do  with  greater  facility  than 
they  can  in  manuscript,  and  are  less  liable  to  make  errors,  and  therefore  exe- 
c-uie  the  work  better.

WHEELER'S  PATENT  WOOD  FILLER. 

The  only  composition  jet  discovered  for  perfectly  Filling  and  Finishing  Wood  and  developing  and  preserving  all  the  natural 
beauties  of  Grain,  Figure  and  Color.     It  is  applicable  to  all  kinds  of  wood. 

Though  a  recent  discovery,  it  has  revolutionized  the  old  systems  of  finisliing  woods,  and  all  who  use  it  gladly  testify  to  its  grea* 
saving  in  cost,  and  superiority  of  finish. 

It  fills  the  pores  of  wood  so  perfectly  smooth  and  solid,  that  a  fine  Finish  is  obtained  with  only  one  coat  of  varnish. 

It  being  non  absorbent,  damp  atmosphere  or  water  will  not  affect  it.  The  solid  part  of  this  Filler  being  composed  of  sharp,  angular 
particles,  it  readily  adheres  to  and  unites  with  the  pores  and  fibres  of  the  wood,  so  that  nothing  can  disturb  it  when  dry. 

It  is  perfectlj-  transparent,  eonsequentl3'  will  not  impair,  but  when  properly  rubbed,  greatly  increases  the  natural  brilliancy  of  tha 
wood. 

To  Owners,  Architects,  Builders,  Painters  and  Furnitup  Manufacturers  and  to  all  who  are  engaged  in  finishing,  or  have  any  occasion 
to  finish  any  kind  of  wood  work,  from  a  Piano  to  a  Butler's  Pantry,  we  confidently  recommend  this  "Patent  Filler"  as  the  best  and 
cheapest  means  of  producing  a  good  and  desirable  finish. 

When  once  thoroughly  tested  it  will  never  be  dispensed  with. 


DI  R.ECTIOTV  S    FOR    USE. 

First  fill  the  pores  of  the  wood  with  "WHEELER'S  PATENT  WOOD  FILLER"  and  let  it  stand  a  sufficient  length  of  time  to 
dry;  after  which  apply  one  coat  of  the  OIL  FINISH  and  when  dry,  rub  down  with  Oil  and  Pumice  stone.  When  an  e.xtra  finish  is  re- 
quired, add  a  second  coat  of  the  OIL  FINISH  (without  rubbing  first  coat),  and  when  dry  rub  down  with  Oil  and  Pumice  stone.  For  Pol- 
ished Work,  proceed  the  same  as  when  using  Rubbing  or  Polishing  Varnish.
